At this point, Ston remembered the legendary "Flying Dutchman", a ghostly ship with a strange ghost sailor who had never been seen alive. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoCould it be that the small-looking dexterous ship in front of you at this time is the legendary ghost ship?

"The temperature is too high to fight!" The machine gun shooter shouted loudly, and Bu Zhongfu looked up to see that the secondary shooters at the machine gun positions on both sides were hurriedly wearing thick gloves to remove the barrel of the gun that was red and still emitting white smoke. At the beginning, he had suggested that the machine gun should be water-cooled instead of air-cooled, but the military industry department had done a test, and after firing 2,000 rounds of ammunition, nearly ten kilograms of cooling water needed to be evaporated. The hulls of these cruisers are too small to even have a place to install a desalination system, and cooling them with seawater would compromise the safety of weapons. So the 1628 carrier-based machine gun finally chose air-cooling, which extended the firing time by replacing the barrel.

The sub-shooters moved quickly and changed the barrels in half a minute, but the enemy ships had already reacted, and many guns aimed at the sudden ghost ship and began to fire, but because of the extremely close distance, most of the shells hit the sea and for a time the water column on the nearby sea surface was everywhere. A shell smashed on the foredeck of the cruiser, and with a "bang" it made a pit in the bulwark and flew into the sea.

The people on the boat were scared to see this situation, although everyone wore body armor and helmets, but if they were smashed by these bowling balls, they would be injured and killed if they were smashed.

Bu Zhongfu pushed the front of the steel helmet up, and shouted at the gun positions of the two guns on the rear deck: "You are all dead? Open fire! ”

"Which one?" The gunners were also in confusion at this time, and at this moment, many people suddenly appeared on the bulwarks of the enemy ships, all of them raised their fire guns in their direction, and then opened fire in a ping-pong manner.

A dense rain of bullets flew over, quickly flew over the distance of several tens of meters, and then crackled and knocked the cruiser like a hailstorm. Suddenly, I heard a scream from the starboard machine gun position in the command room, and a figure fell from the fan of the command room. Several people hurriedly rushed up and pulled him to the bulwark to check. The man was hit by a lead bullet in his right calf, but fortunately it was far away, but it only broke the skin, and the bullet butt was poked outside, and after simple treatment, nothing happened.

"I don't care which one you hit!" Bu Zhongfu saw that the person was fine, and shouted at the gun position again, "You can hit whichever one is easy to hit, anyway, it doesn't make a difference." As he spoke, he turned his head towards the command room and shouted, "Full speed ahead!" Get out of here! Let's go back to Hong Kong! ”

With two muffled bangs, two shells were fired directly, one smashed on the port wall of the Overlord, and again did not explode, falling into the sea; The other flew over the bulwark and hit the Overlord's rear mast, and with a clatter, the entire mast slammed into the back of the ship with the sail lines and the screaming lookout. A few of the cables that were fastened to the deck were suddenly tightened and straightened, and the few Mederno sailors who had poor eyesight were thrown out of the bulwark, and fell into the sea with a scream.

"How? Did you get on the fuse? "The artillery commander is going crazy, except for the first three rounds of fire, and then these three shells have a dumb rate of more than 60 percent.

"It's on the fuse! It must be damp! The loader was full of grievances, and he desperately wound the "bow and crossbow of the Senate". The gunner turned on the flashlight he carried with him, checked a few shells standing head-up in the ammunition box, and sure enough, they were fused, but when he touched it, it was full of seawater, and it must have been splashed by the splash caused by the shelling just now, so he quickly turned off the flashlight and shouted: "Unload the fuse and replace it with a new one!" ”

At this time, the cruiser had already opened a distance of more than two hundred meters from the enemy's artillery array, and the ship made a right turn, fired a salvo from the three spring guns, and then turned its head and headed west. At this time, the machine gun that had stopped firing before sounded cheerfully again, and the Medeno fleet could only watch as the other side quickly and quickly retreated into the black smoke towards the west at an incredible speed, only the fire of the firearm that was still shining from time to time showed that it was still within the beaten distance.

"Count the damage! Salvage of people at sea. Ston shouted at his scrambled men, and the first mate said a little reluctantly, "Colonel, aren't we going to pursue?" ”

"Are you blind? Can we catch up with the speed of the boat that claimed to be the Chinese Coast Guard? And now it's a southeast wind, can we catch up with such a fast ship against the wind? Ston was angry, and scolded at the first mate is head and face, "We still have many sailors soaking in the sea!" If you don't save it, you won't be saved. ”

…………………………

"These people aren't ordinary pirates!" Ston said loudly in the chart room, and the captains and officers sitting in a circle next to him were silent, "This group of enemies must have special technology. As he spoke, he threw a few black objects on the chart table. The audience hurriedly came up and watched carefully.

"This is the projectile they fired, you see, there is not only lead in it, but also steel, and the strangest thing is that their projectile is pointed! Fastigiate! Ston went on to look up at the great gap in the chart room that had been smashed by the overturned mast, which had smashed a corner of his captain's room and swept into the sea the treasure chest he had kept for many years, which was his pension!

"We have also studied the conical bullet, but this kind of bullet can only fly less than thirty feet before flying everywhere, but what about these enemy firearms? The fact that they were able to accurately hit us from miles away means that these men used far more firearms than we did, and that their shells would explode, not only tearing through the hulls of our ships, but also igniting the propellants piled up next to the gun emplacements. Ston picked up the projectile on the table. We can't catch up with them, we can't beat them, and I don't know if we have a chance to win in a land battle, so I'd like you to have your say. ”

"Let's go back, they sank our Vincent with only one ship, and broke the Mast of the Overlord."

"yes, we've lost more than six hundred people. We've been beaten, and we haven't even fought back. ”

"No, we hit them."

"But it's useless! Everyone saw it, and the cannonball smashed into the spark and fell directly into the sea. ”

"Wait!" Captain Carnesto of the Bohn interrupted the group, "I think we still have to go to the port of the East. ”

"Why?" Ston is a little strange, this strange ship has successfully defeated their will to fight by beating itself up just now, and there are still people who propose to continue to attack and blockade the port of the East?

"Very simply, according to intelligence, there are four or five thousand residents in Dongfang Port, which is quite large for an average city in the Eastern Continent. As some of our merchant ships have begun to enter and leave the port of the East in recent months, it has been revealed that although they have a steel ship, it has remained there since the first landing of the legend that these pirates have not moved. In addition, according to intelligence, although there are four or five strange ships that attacked us today, they rarely make sorties, and they were all crossbows and trebuchets installed before, and the weapons used to attack us today seem to be new weapons. If we don't do it when they don't get familiar with the new weapon yet, wait until they get acquainted with the new weapon, then we're in trouble. Carnesto pointed to the port on the map and said, "The location of the port of the east is actually better than the port of Champong, I heard that it was not built as a port because it belonged to the land of the military country. The position of the Oriental Port is very important, whether it is the trade route to the southbound archipelago or the northern mainland, they have to pass near it, judging from the combat capabilities of these ships today, they even have the ability to block our trade routes in the South China Sea, since we have become hostile to the forces of the Oriental Port, it is better to destroy them directly while they are not familiar with the new weapons, after all, they are only four or five thousand people, although our fleet has lost so many people, but each ship has at least eight hundred sailors, Real swords and real guns are not necessarily going to lose when fighting with them on the ground, and they are mainly ordinary people, and they will definitely run around without obeying commands when they fight, so we still have a lot of advantages! ”

"That's right! I agree with the captain of the USS Bohn. The captain of the Vincennes stood up in agreement. Moreover, Vincent's unjustly killed sailors also expect us to avenge them, and they cannot run away like lost a warship because they were attacked by a raid. ”

Several captains on the side also agreed, and as soon as Carnesto said this, they also felt that they could not be frightened by a boat.

"That's right, just now because we were fighting in the dark night, we can't see, they must have night vision spells, we are now moving at full speed, if we rush to Dongfang Port, we can get there in about two hours, although it may not be able to catch up with the rising tide, there is still more than an hour before the low tide." Ston nodded in agreement, "It's not without a chance that we will take advantage of the night and the tide to land quickly." ”

"Yes," immediately a number of people began to chim. "It is not surprising that those pirate-born enemies are excellent at sea, and it must be rare to fight on the shore, so we will go and occupy the port of the East!"

A group of captains and officers were clamoring for the pirates to pay for the sneak attack, completely ignoring the fact that the pirates had defeated five times their own military officers and warriors.
